So I actually started writing this before, but I never finished... I saw someone else write their review too so it made me want to do mine b/c no offense... My day was ~much better.
Anyways....
I got up at the "crack ass of dawn" Sunday morning on October 4th at 4 am after going to bed at midnight b/c of work just for Honor Society. *whew* I was TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED... lol.
So I got up & ready before 5, and Ash picked me up at like quarter after/5:30ish.
We went by Caity's before hitting the road.
I fell asleep so the sunrise came and went, before we made a stop.
I was with Ash & her mom for a while before I went with Caity. Made the journey go by a lot faster and we really were there in Pearl River before we knew it...
[We also got a really funny twitter update from Alex lookin to find breakfast but ending up crashing two wedding receptions. What a silly bitch... ... But I pictured him doing it in his Ninja Turtles Snuggie =P]
We pulled in, and got our pretty much useless wristbands that guaranteed us to get into the concert... And do the charity walk.
Then we got in a long ass line of teenies and had to wait til they let us in...
The boys came out to do a soundcheck and even started to rock out to the All-American Rejects' "Move Along" =D.
They had to go back in to get ready for the show, so we still waited and waited, and then got some merch in between all the waiting.
Finally they let us in, when HS was supposed to be starting.
We kind of went towards the back of the crowd b/c there was no need for us to be squished like we could have been.
Radio DJ's and some contest people came out and talked for a bit, but FINALLY.... The ~gentlemen walked out and right onto stage before being introduced.
That's when the fun began. They rocked out every single song they performed... From "Over You" to "Where Are You Now", to "Nobody Has To Know" to my favorite "Here Comes Trouble"... Before "See U In The Dark" tied the whole thing up. And I think I took WAY too many pictures of some great faces like these:
LOL.
Well... anyways, when the show ended... Betches ran like it was their job just to get in line for the meet and greet...
We were towards the end, and it not only took long just to get up there... But I think they must've changed again and taken a shower or something b/c they took foreverrrrrrrrr to come back out.
When they finally did... it still went by pretty slow... But you can tell it was because they were taking time with like each and every fan.
We made friends with a 15 year old, her mom and their friend...?
But it was fun. [I love HS fans they're a lot nicer than JB fans]
When we finally got closer we distinguished out order and how we were gonna approach the gents, and I think Caity was first.
I was far behind the big USA pears backdrop so I don't know much of what happened with her other than Michael told her once again that she had a rather sweet smell coming from her, and she had a wonky eye in her pic that she had to re-do later.
Like I said, I couldn't see anything, but Ashley was standing next to Alex waiting for Caity to finish up. And I remember we were "fighting" or something and I stuck out my tongue. So she stuck it back out at me and flipped her hair... while Alex watched.
lol.
Then she did her thing. And somebody near me thought I asked him something when I didn't so we both got confused and so I really didn't see much of what happened with her.
Then Ashley was gone, and Alex looked over me [pretty much felt 12 years old again and had some fierce sexy music go though my head when he smiled and said hello]. I then, gave him a hug, and Michael a hug before I stopped them and showed them the poster that I made them.
They were all amazed and told me they liked it before Michael said "We get to keep this right?!" I giggled at him actin like a lil kid askin if he could get a new video game... and said "Absolutely I made it for you!" So there were some thank yous before we ended up taking our pic with it. =D
Then Kat grabbed it as I believe it was Michael that said "We're gonna have to put that some place special", and Kat said "I know the perfect place"
Then she handed it over to Lisa from SOM, and Mandy [yes that Mandy who I just noticed was off to the side.]
I went to the other side near Andy and talked to Ashley for a sec before I felt a tap on my shoulder from Andy asking if my MOM could use my camera.
I told him that was her [*pointing to Ash*] mom and then had to call ash over so Ash's mom could get her AMAZING picture. I'm jealous! =P
Then I remember her telling Michael were from Syracuse before asking them if we could all get a picture with them doing that "hand thingy". lol.
So we all went near our ~gentleman of preference and as I tried to match up with Michael, I kindaaaaaa left Alex hanging. Woopsie.
But then we all smiled and took this AMAZING picture.
Nothing could beat this meet and greet pic, it was truely the best picture with a celeb. Just too amazing for words.
Anywho... Lol.
We did have to eventually get out of there to get back home. =(
And the whole way, we just talked about our pics took some more.... got seperated and lost. Due to no cell phones, the only way we finally communicated was to use a Preble rest stop's pay phone. hahahaha. So wierd to have to pick it up when it rings FYI.
But this was definitely a trip to remember. I just wish Al could have been there. =( But believe me this wouldn't be the last time we'd see Honor Society...
Oh no. Definitely not the last time.
